One Night Stand With Mr.. President Chapter Eighteen
Katherine I stormed right into Richard’s office with fury and determination, my heels clicking furiously against the floor. My blood was seriously boiling with rage, and my hands clenched into fists. Emilia was seated across from Richard, her face was calm—way too calm—like she hadn’t just destroyed my family and it made me even more pissed off."You!" I spat, pointing a finger right at her. "You did this! You got my father arrested! Didn't you?"Emilia blinked twice, taken aback, but before she could even speak, Richard stood up defending her."Katherine, that is enough." His voice was cold, firm. But I wasn't going to let him intimidate me, he was in on it since she was his wife.I turned to him, my jaw tightening. "You’re defending her? After everything she’s done? Of course, you're defending her, you both conspired against him."Richard sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Your father’s arrest has nothing to do with Emilia. Would you just chill out, are you forgetting who yo

JaydenThe night air felt very cold and it was biting, even though it was still very early in the evening. I walked down the sidewalk on the left, hands shoved deep inside my jacket pockets, head down and I was lost in thought. The weight of the night before sat heavily on my chest. I had done it. I had thrown Katherine away like she was nothing, just another notch in the long list of women i hadused to feed my ego. She had been a stepping stone, a way to keep the image of the perfect life intact. But now? She was no longer of use to me. Now, everything was in shambles.My mind was a simply a jumbled mess, one thought crashing itself onto the next. I had dumped Katherine, fought off any trace of hesitation to end things, but why did it feel like one of the few wrong choices I had ever made? Part of me had expected a bit of relief, but instead, all I felt was an insatiable bitterness, gnawing away at me from the inside out.Katherine’s father had recently been arrested. It was a scanda

KatherineThe atmosphere around me felt really damp with silence in the aftermath of Jayden’s hurtful and bitter words. It was as if the whole world had frozen right around me, and all that remained was the bitter sting of raw rejection.I sat on the edge of the bed, my phone clutched very tightly in my hand. As my fingertips hovered over the screen, trembling ever slightly as I stared at Jayden's name. Why did it feel like I was holding onto a lifeline that was slipping away from me? Why?I dialed his number again and again,, for the hundredth time, hoping, praying that this time, he’d answer. But he just refused to.The call went straight into voicemail.I stared at the screen for a long moment before finally deciding to leave another message. The words came out even more shakier than I intended."Jayden, please… pick up. Pick up the bloody phone. I don’t understand. You can’t just walk away like this. You simply can't. Not after everything we’ve been through. Please, don’t do this

EmiliaThe morning was chill and filled with promise as I walked into the office, my steps were super confident, I held my head up high. It had been a while since I had felt like she truly belonged here, but today, something definitely felt different. The whispers from the other staff had faded. I could see the way people looked at me now, with total and absolute respect, and perhaps even a bit of admiration. The change was palpable and I liked it. Jayden was nowhere to be found, and neither was Katherine. They were probably hiding their faces dey to the shame and total embarrassing situation the had faced in multiple occasions. It was as though the storm they had caused had passed, and the calm was after a long time finally setting in. Iwalked in through the office, greeting a few employees who waved or nodded at me. I smiled back, feeling a slight sense of raw peace settle over me.I went through the usual routine of meetings. Richard had arranged for me to meet with some of t

KatherineI woke up the next morning feeling like absolute hell. My eyes were still swollen from a lot of crying, my head pounded, and my entire body ached from last night. But I refused to let it show. I was Katherine Smith, and I wasn’t going to let this break me.That bastard Jayden was gone. My father was now in prison. Everyone in the company was whispering behind my back, waiting for me to crumble. But I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction. If Emilia thought she had won, she was dead wrong.I picked myself up, put on my best dress, did my makeup to perfection, and walked into the Kane Group building like I totally owned the place.But I wasn’t just here to work today.I was here to ruin Emilia from the inside out.And I knew exactly who to use.As I stepped into the office, I saw Lucia, one of the lower ranked employees who had a bad habit of poking her nose where it does not belong. She was the type to gossip about literally anything and everything, always eager to spread rumor

EmiliaWhat the hell? What the actual hell? It was her. It was Katherine who drugged me that night. Now that I actually think about it, it all makes a lot of senseThe realization of this truth hit me like a train, my body stiffening as the pieces came together. I actually thought I was crazy, I kept on questioning myself over and over again about what exactly had happened that night at the club. But now, it all made sense.I remembered vividly, she had approached me that night, all smiles and she came to mock me. My drink had been right in front of her, and I recalled that I had turned my back at her at some point. That must have been when she did it. That crazy bitch.I clenched my fists as my breathing became fast. I could not believe it. After everything, she was the one who had drugged me that night, setting everything in motion.I swallowed hard. Richard.Had she done it to him too?He had even accused me once, believing I was the one who spiked his drink. But what if Katherine

RichardIt had been a long day, but the day was far from over. I had even accused Emilia of drugging me that night, even though she claimed her innocence. It took me a short while but I finally realized how wrong I was. I was happy to find out she was carrying my child. Now, it seemed that Katherine was the one responsible for drugging both of us. I would get to the bottom of this. If I found out she was behind my own ordeal, she was in for even more trouble. She was already in hot water, but this? It could destroy her completely.Emilia was fast asleep, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her. She had been through a lot, we both have and she was carrying my child. I watched her as he slept peacefully on the couch, her body curled slightly as she rested. It made me feel protective of her. I couldn't help but smile as I admired her, but then my mind turned back to Katherine and everything that had unfolded today .I needed answers, and I was going to get them.I stepped out of my office, loo

EmiliaI had just woken up to find myself alone. All alone in Richard's office. My head was throbbing really hard, and my eyes felt very heavy and weak. It was probably due to the pregnancy and the stress that followed from everything that has been going on. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes and my temples as I tried to shake off the dizziness.I stood up slowly and carefully, the room was still spinning a little around me. I had no idea where Richard had gone to. I hadn’t heard him leave as I was fast asleep on the couch. As I walked towards the door, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my lower abdomen. I froze, gasping a little from the sudden discomfort. I placed my hand on my stomach instinctively, and the pain seemed to linger on for a second before it faded away just as quickly as it had come. What the hell was that?I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. The baby was okay. I was okay. It just had to be all the combines stress. That’s all it was. I wasn’t used to feeling so

One Night Stand With Mr.. President Chapter Fifty-Six
Richard’s POVThe room was silent again, all that could be heard was the soft beeping of the machines and the occasional rustling of the bed sheets as Emilia shifted slightly. I just sat there, watching her, not knowing what to say next. The weight of everything, the fight, the lies, the secrets, hung heavily between us. But I had to try, I had to make things right.After what felt like an eternity, it was Emilia who broke the silence. Her voice was weak, barely above a whisper, but I could tell she had been thinking about what had happened.“Why didn’t you tell me about Nora?” she asked, her eyes still closed, but I could see the hurt in her voice. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth?”I flinched at the question. My gaze dropped to our intertwined hands, and I squeezed her fingers gently, almost as if I could offer her some comfort through that small touch.“I didn’t want you to feel insecure about her presence,” I said softly, choosing my words carefully. “Nora’s part of my past,

Richard’s POVThe beeping of the monitor was the only sound in the sterile hospital room. It kept rhythm with my pulse, reminding me that Emilia was still here, that she was still alive. I sat beside her, holding her hand gently, watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, but I knew better. I knew the fear and anxiety she must have been feeling before all this happened. And I couldn’t stop blaming myself for it.I kept staring at her face. It hurt to see her like this. I had no idea things would go this far. I shouldn’t have agreed to that drink with Nora. I should have said no, walked away, gone straight back to my room. But I didn’t. And now look where that got me.I leaned closer and brushed a strand of hair away from Emilia’s forehead.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I swear I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.”There was no response.The nurse stepped in quietly and checked the monitor. I stood and moved to the side as she did her job. I watched closely waiting for any reactio

Emilia"What the fuck?"The words left my mouth before I could stop them.I didn’t plan it. I didn’t mean to say them out loud. But they escaped before I could stop them. My mum always said I should speak like a lady. She always said swearing made people look rough and disrespectful. But right now? I didn’t care. None of that mattered.Because what I was seeing?I couldn’t believe it.Richard. My husband. With another woman. Alone.I stopped in the doorway. I couldn’t move. My eyes were wide open, frozen on them. My arms hung by my sides shaking. My whole body felt hot, like fire was spreading under my skin. It was hard to breathe. My chest ached, and my throat was tight.Richard and Nora.She was standing too close to him. Way too close.Her hand had been on his arm when I walked in. Now she quickly stepped back like she’d been caught doing something she shouldn’t. Her eyes met mine for a second, and I saw it, that flicker of guilt. But it vanished just as fast. She smoothed her d

EmiliaAfter Richard left, I stayed in bed for a while with my hand resting on my stomach. I didn’t move much. Everything felt heavy. My eyes, my arms, even my heart. I turned on my side, hoping it would help, but it didn’t. The room felt too quiet, like it was pressing in on me.Another wave of nausea hit me hard, stronger than before. I covered my mouth with one hand and breathed through my nose. I didn’t know if it was the pregnancy or just stress, but either way, I knew I couldn’t stay like this forever.I pushed the blanket off and slowly sat up. I waited a second as my head spun a little, then stood up on shaky legs. My feet touched the cold floor, making me shiver a little. I walked slowly to the bathroom and turned on the water. When I let the cold water run over my hands and splash my face, I gasped. It was freezing. But honestly, it helped.The cold pulled me out of that dull feeling. I let the water run down my arms and leaned over the sink, just breathing. After a while, I

RichardThe morning sun slipped through the curtains, warm and soft on my face. I turned over slowly and saw Emilia curled up beside me, still asleep. Her breathing was soft, calm. I smiled a little and brushed a strand of hair away from her face.“Emilia,” I said gently, my voice low. “It’s morning.”She stirred but didn’t open her eyes. “Just five more minutes,” she whispered, pulling the blanket closer.I chuckled, leaning down to kiss her forehead. “We have that meeting this morning with the partners.”She groaned lightly and rolled onto her back. “I know. I didn’t forget. I just feel… off.”That made me pause. “Off? What do you mean?”She opened her eyes slowly. “Like I’m gonna be sick. I feel lightheaded too. Probably just tired. Or maybe it’s the food from last night.”I sat up and placed a hand on her forehead. She didn’t feel hot, but I didn’t like how pale she looked. “You should rest,” I said. “Don’t push yourself. I can go without you.”“But—”“No buts,” I said firmly. “I’

Sitting in economy didn’t help either. My knees were squashed the entire time, and no matter how I shifted, I couldn’t get comfortable. Every time I looked over at Nora, hoping she'd say something or even glance my way, she acted like I wasn’t even there.She had her earbuds in, reading some thick novel with a serious face, like we weren’t on the same row, like we hadn’t shared a million memories.I leaned in slightly, trying again.“Hey, are you gonna ignore me the whole trip?” I asked, keeping my voice low.She didn’t even take her eyes off the page.“I’m reading, Jayden,” she replied flatly.“I can see that,” I said, chuckling awkwardly. “You’ve been reading since takeoff.”“That’s because I don’t want to talk.”I sat back and shook my head. “Unbelievable.”Once we got off the

EmiliaI stepped into the hotel room—or suite, or whatever it was called—and my jaw almost dropped. The place was insane. Big wasn’t even the word. It was stunning. The kind of room you only see in magazines or movies. The floor was all marble, so shiny I could probably see my reflection if I looked down long enough. Right in the center of the ceiling, this massive chandelier hung down like it belonged in a palace. It sparkled like stars were trapped inside it.The walls were spotless and smooth, painted in this soft cream color that made the gold decorations pop even more. Every little thing in that room looked expensive. Even the handles on the drawers and cupboards—they weren’t just metal, they looked like real gold. I didn’t know if they were, but still, they had that kind of shine.I walked into the bedroom and paused right at the door. It was beautiful. The bed was huge—like, you could roll around for hours and still not fall off. The sheets were bright white and looked so fr
